Nelson Collins, have you seen Dan Curtis's version of "Dracula"?  He brings the theme of a lost love reincarnated into the picture, so it's usually thought (by those familiar with Curtis' far superior version) that Coppola and Company took the idea from the TV-movie.

Thanks, Vlad, I do recall that now that you mention it.  it has been literally decades since I watched DC's version of Dracula.  So, if I have this right, Coppola stole it from DC's Dracula, DC stole it from his own DS, which may have gotten it from Univeral's 1932 The Mummy.  Is anyone else's head beside mine spinning yet? lol

P.S.  When I was researching a project in high school, I stumbled across a reference to a Sandor Petofi, whom IIRC, was also an artist.  1897 had just begun airing, and I thought it was a funny coincidence.

ProfStokes...I just googled Sandor Petofi; most of the listings are not in English, Hungarian poet...lived MID 1800S!!! (bah bah bah BAAAH [ds theme] ).
